Betty Lyles - Prayer Time (CCM)

Betty Lyles - Prayer Time
Betty Lyles has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Prayer Time.

Betty shares: "Prayer Time was written back in 2011 for my youth choir at Mount Rose Missionary Baptist Church in Houston, Texas to sing at devotion for prayer. We needed a song that would be short and sweet for them to learn and prepare the congregation for prayer. The Lord placed it on my heart to write this song. We sang the song a few times during the year, but after that, we returned to our old repertoire of songs written by other composers. A few months ago I thought about Prayer Time and decided to go on Fiverr to hire a vocalist, rapper, synth bass, and lead guitarist to accompany me (I’m playing the keyboard) on the song. I was quite pleased with the outcome and decided to release the song, hoping it will inspire someone who’s feeling hopeless to go to God in prayer."

Lyrics:

[Chorus]
Prayer time, prayer time, prayer time
Prayer time, prayer time, it's prayer time
He will, he will answer
He will answer, it's prayer time

[Verse]
Hey! Yeah, ah, come on
In dark times we need a prayer, just wanna put my hands high and keep 'em there
No matter what you're going through, no need to fear
Just gotta keep faith, remember He is here
When the money's low, or when you're feeling lost
He died for you, He paid the ultimate cost (prayer time)
Things might seem tragic, but he can make it happen (yeah)
Bring you out of the storm for life everlasting
We're all looking for love and for purpose (prayer time)
And when I look at the world, my heart's hurting (oh-h-h)
'Cuz people suffering daily, can't handle (oh, it's prayer)
Trying to survive and just needed an answer
I pray for peace and I know it will get better
With help from the Messiah, the Alpha, Omega (better)
He gave me the good news, I just wanna share mine (he)
If you're looking for him, all you need is some prayer time (prayer time)
Oe, ah, o, ah

[Chorus]
Prayer time, prayer time, prayer time
Prayer time, prayer time, it's prayer time
He will, he will answer
He will answer, it's prayer time

"King Of All Nations" by Ezra Worship Initiative: Sing Today What Heaven Will Sing Forever

Your worship today echoes eternity. Ezra Worship Initiative trains young worship leaders through a ten-week, seminary-based internship. Their songwriters learn Scripture first and melody second. You can hear this in their latest release, “King Of All Nations,” a song written for congregations to sing. The song opens as a prayer: “May Your Name be proclaimed in all creation.” Who does the proclaiming? The Church does. The second verse asks God to “send Your Church to go and tell the gospel story,” which puts all who sing this right inside the request. Who on your street has never heard His name from you? Then the chorus lifts the roof: “All the honor, voices lifted to the King.” Worship here is not a performance. It is sung as a community, young and old, a multigenerational voice of praise. The bridge looks ahead. “All will come, and all will bow.” John saw the same moment: “a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, stan...

"Man of Sorrows" by Lauren Gruwell: Jesus Feels Your Pain With You

Jesus knows your pain before you speak it. Lauren Gruwell knows what it is when Jesus feels unreachable. Trauma in her childhood left her with deep sorrow, and for years Jesus seemed too far away. She didn’t think she was good enough to come near Him. Are you also familiar with that feeling? Do you sit in the dark, tears falling, and wonder: “… no one knows but if they did, would they care?” Lauren shares: “It wasn’t until He changed me, that I realized that HE has felt all the pain I’ve ever felt, and that He loves me regardless.” The Savior that she thought she couldn’t approach had already walked her road. This song, “Man of Sorrows”, grew from that discovery, and it carries a promise for anyone who hurts: “And all of my hurt, He felt it first…” . Jesus hurts right beside you. In Isaiah 53:3, we read that He was “a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.” Then comes the line that changes everything: “Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows.” Our griefs. Our sorrow...

"My Side" by Dan Read: Proof That God Never Leaves Your Side

You can ask God the hard questions. Dan Read doesn’t tiptoe around hard questions. His song, “My Side”, opens with a whole bunch of questions: “Where is the rudder that keeps me afloat?” “Where is the anchor when I know I shouldn’t go?” “Where is the sail that guides me home?” Have you ever asked God something that blunt? Dan also admits what he can’t see. “I don’t know what the future holds.” “I don’t know why we hurt sometimes.” No tidy answers follow. Every one of these questions lands in the same place: “I look to the heavens.” Notice what he does with his doubt. He lifts it instead of hiding it. The writer of the book of Hebrews (we don’t know who the author was) gives that habit a solid footing: “We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul.” In other words, waves still roll, and our Anchor holds anyway. The song makes this personal. Dan sings that he has “heard stories about the peace that you bring” and heard of God’s power in the songs we sing. But seeing it ...
